If you mean how it got to internet, it most probably used the dhcp client "pump" to get an ip address from your router.. This happens in /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig

this is almost what I want one of my systems is slackware-11 with windows dule boot it connects to a router through a usb port another machine connects to the same router through a ethernet cableboth computers can acess the internet just fine I haven't been able to set up slack to use this usb router BUT dsl dose configure the usb connection just fine all on it's ownnow I want to 1) copy the configuration files to someplace else (that I can get to with slackware)2) pick out the parts that set up the usb router 3) add the usb router configuration to slackware

DSL just loads the module for the router (with the autoconfigurator, ie the green bar), and then uses the dhcp client. To do the same in Slack, do "lsmod", and check which modules have been loaded.Then just try "modprobe module" in Slack. When you get the right one, it will appear as eth0/eth1 and you can give it an ip address
